Ramen is a noodle soup dish and perhaps one of the most popular Japanese dishes. There are many flavours of ramen, such as Shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, Miso ramen, Tonkotsu (pork bone) ramen and so on. Common toppings are Chashu (braised pork), Negi (green onion) and Nori (dried seaweed).
Gyoza is a dumpling using wrapping thing dough to hold the inner ingredients. Most commonly, minced pork, cabbage, Garlic and Leek. The origin of Gyoza is from China but it has evolved uniquely in Japan and now quite different from the Chinese one.
Rice is a staple food in Japan. In all most every family, there is a rice cooker. There is variety of Japanese rice brands such as Koshihikari and Hitomebore.

★★★★★The cooking class with Satoru and Akiko was one of the highlights of our trip! We learned -step by step - how to make two different types of ramen and also the best Gyozas we have had in Japan. We were able to do most things ourselves!! We were also given the recipes typed out to take home. It was a great half-day, because we had the great cooking lesson and then were able to spend some time in the beautiful area where they live: Arashiyama. Everything was easy, to get there and Akiko was waiting for us at the station. Very, very recommended!!
